He held a deep resentment in his heart. Why was it that as a peak Martial God, he had to pretend to be a low-level Martial God? If he had known earlier that Qin Chen was a peak Martial God, even if he were a powerful Martial God, he would have been somewhat wary. At the very least, he would have made sure to clarify the opponent's true background before taking action.
Lu Zian was unaware that Qin Chen had not deceived him; he truly was just a mid-level peak Martial God, not a peak Martial God.
At this moment, Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang were already dumbfounded, watching Qin Chen in shock, secretly relieved that they had not harbored the same thoughts as Lu Zian. Otherwise, their fate would not have been much better than Wei Ziyang's.
They were well aware of Lu Zian's strength. If they really engaged in a fight, their only option would be to flee. Yet, such a peak Martial God was injured in front of Qin Chen in just a moment and even admitted defeat.
Martial artists have their dignity, let alone a peak Martial God like Lu Zian. To admit defeat meant that, in Lu Zian's eyes, even if he exerted all his strength, he might not be a match for Qin Chen. What kind of cultivation level was this?
However, after realizing Qin Chen's prowess, Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang were not worried at all; instead, they were even more delighted. This was because the Thunder Sea was far too dangerous now. The stronger Qin Chen became, the safer they felt.
Qin Chen had no idea what Rao Yuange and Pu Xingchang were thinking. He stared at Lu Zian, sneering, "If you want to make a move, then do it. If you want to admit defeat, then admit it. Where do you find such a good deal?"
Qin Chen was certain that he had the upper hand. If Lu Zian had the upper hand, his fate would definitely be miserable.
After hesitating for a long time, Lu Zian took out a jade bottle and handed it to Qin Chen, saying, "Brother Chen, this is a bottle of Emperor Yuan Dan. It can restore the true essence of a peak Martial God in a short time. I admire your cultivation, Brother Chen, and these pills will also help you a lot, so I’ll gift them to you."
Emperor Yuan Dan was a ninth-grade pill, and it was not considered low among ninth-grade pills. It could quickly restore the true essence consumption of a peak Martial God. Previously, Lu Zian had relied on Emperor Yuan Dan to quickly recover his cultivation when his true essence was almost exhausted.
Upon hearing it was Emperor Yuan Dan, Qin Chen's expression immediately darkened. Although Emperor Yuan Dan was a good item and could be considered extremely precious in Tianlei City, any pill that reached the ninth grade was extremely valuable, let alone Emperor Yuan Dan, which was not at the bottom of the ninth-grade pills.
However, Qin Chen looked down on such things. He was a ninth-grade Alchemy Emperor, and the main ingredient for refining Emperor Yuan Dan was Emperor Spirit Grass, a ninth-level spiritual herb. Yet, there were plenty of such spiritual herbs in the Holy Herb Garden of Piao Miao Palace, and they were currently planted in his Qiankun Creation Jade Dish.
If Qin Chen wanted Emperor Yuan Dan, he could refine several furnaces in no time, so why would he care about the few pills Lu Zian had just taken out?
Seeing Qin Chen's change in expression, Lu Zian immediately knew something was wrong. Before he could say anything further, Qin Chen's aura surged, an endless killing intent akin to a volcano on the brink of eruption.
Feeling this, Lu Zian was even more shocked. This aura was far more domineering than when he had fought against Qin Chen earlier. Could it be that Qin Chen had not exerted his full strength when he made his earlier move?
Thinking of this, Lu Zian dared not hesitate any longer and hurriedly took out a light blue jade box, saying, "I have one more thing here that I believe Brother Chen will be interested in."
Qin Chen took the jade box and opened it directly, and to his surprise, inside was actually a mineral. This mineral was a deep blue color, adorned with specks that resembled countless stars.
